The modern era of almost instantaneous communication, along with exponentially more modern internet resources to find data at its origin, is creating increased cynicism and skepticism each time one of these hidden conflicts are dragged into the spotlight.

I hate to break it to the Einstein author but I’m an “information deliverer” not a propagandist.
